Amazingly I found out from the dictionary that this potent solvent toluene was first isolated from an aromatic gum from a South American tree, known as Balsam of Tolu, named for the colonial-era Colombian seaport it was typically exported from. Can't even find Tolu on a map any more.
So when the oil wells all run dry we can paddle a dugout up a sleepy jungle river and buy some of this from the natives - - except the jungle has already been all cut down and the hillsides are gullied barren wastelands.
That's progress for you.
